. The Marshall Islands: Skills Training and Vocational Education Project Evaluates the performance of the job and highlights lessons. Provides inputs to two more comprehensive examinations- the local evaluation of ADB support for the Pacific and the special examination research study on Millennium Development Goals. The low educational achievement and lack of Marshallese skilled workers were mostly due to the poor quality of standard education, absence of access to education in the external islands, and weaknesses in skills training and the vocational and technical education system.

These supported an economy marked by high unemployment because of constrained economic sector growth and government downsizing. Unemployment was especially high among the youth and females in the outer islands. Appropriate local competent personnel for existing job vacancies

were unavailable, hence the importation of properly competent foreign employees. Thus, there was a mismatch between readily available tasks and skills of the Marshallese labour force. These conditions supplied the effort for the Government

of the Marshall Islands to focus on technical and vocational education training reforms. In 2000, ADB authorized a loan for $9.1 million to improve skills training to offer well-trained employees required for sustained financial and social development. This was to be attained through an integrated nationwide abilities training system. The project included 4 components: advancement of a profession awareness program, skills training enhancement, boosted abilities training chances for females and youth, and institutional strengthening. The anticipated outcome was increased income-generating chances and employment for students, specifically women and youth in the outer islands. Overall, the project was ranked unsuccessful. Minimal progress was achieved in making the project responsive to the requirements of its recipients and private-sector employers. The enduring weakness of poor numeracy and literacy proficiencies

among public primary and secondary school graduates and dropouts going into college or attending voc-tech education could be partly credited to the poor quality of basic education. The task was supply-driven and might not develop a strong linkage with economic sector requirements or align its activities with the requirements of the labour market. The status of the technical and trade education training system has stayed essentially the same after project completion. The research study put forward that ADB might encourage the Government of the Marshall Islands, through assessment and policy dialogue, to follow through on the federal government's

commitment to establishing a devoted labour info system to connect technical and professional education training program offerings with industry demand. Although the task established a labour market information system, in the absence of in-house staff ability at the National Training Council, it was not fully functional.
